Spurrier noted that even without Davis, the team would be in good shape the running back position.

“We have several good running backs,” Spurrier said. “Obviously Mike had over 1,000 yards last year and he's a very good runner. [We also have] Brandon Wilds, Shon Carson and David Williams, David was held out last year, so we have good running backs.”

Davis finished with 1,183 yards and 11 touchdowns last season and is a Heisman Trophy contender coming into this year. And while questions mounted about his availability last week, Davis took to Twitter to quell concerns.
